| Parameter name | Description | Default value | required or optional?
|

| Translator | book's translator or translators. See Author description for preferred format. | empty | optional |
| Editor | book's editor or editors. See Author description for preferred format. | empty | optional |
| Illustrator | book's illustrator or illustrators. See Author description for preferred format. | empty | optional |
| Title | title of the book. Some titles of very old books tend to be long, and are often split into the main title plus subtitle. In such a case please use Subtitle field. | empty | optional |
| Subtitle | Subtitle of the book | empty | optional |
| Series title | If book is a part of the series then provide series title. | empty | optional |
| Volume | If book has multiple volumes then provide volume number. | empty | optional |

| Printer | book's printer | empty | optional |

| Language | language of the book (most of the time, but not always ISO codes). See http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/cldr/ for details. Do not use the {{language}} template, it is already coded into this template.
|
empty | optional |
| Description | description of the book. Please use multilingual templates like {{en|}}. | empty | optional |
| Source | information about where the source of the files in the category. Usually name of the user or the institution that scanned the book with a link to the download page if possible. Source should always be specified and books without source will be tagged with {{Source missing}} template. | empty | optional |
| Permission | license (such as {{PD-old-100}} or {{PD/1923|1912}}); used for pdf and DjVu files where the entire book is a single file. When creating book templates (for a group of images that are uploaded as separate files) leave this blank, as each file should use license template directly. | empty | optional |
| Image | image representing the book. Usually the front page or the cover. For multi-image pdf and DjVu files this is simply the filename. Omit "File:". | empty | optional |
| Image page | Page number of the image representing the book. Usually the front page or the cover. Used for multipage pdf and DjVu images. | empty | optional |
| Pageoverview | field used to show page number, number of pages or possibly add links to all the pages. Different derivative templates used this field differently:

| Wikisource | link to related Wikisource page. Use s:en:Main Page notation. eg.: |Wikisource=s:en:Three Books of Occult Philosophy | empty | optional |
| Homecat | Used only when template:Book is used to create other templates, usually templates for specific books. Homecat (Home category) will categorize the book template without categorizing images using it. In order to auto-categorize images as well use separate {{Book/AutoCategory}} template. If Homecat is missing or points to non-existing category than template is added to Category:Book templates without home category. To avoid that use "Homecat=~". | empty | optional |
| Other_versions | Other versions of this same document on Commons, this can be used for files in a different format, or other editions of the same text. | empty | optional |
| other_fields | Additional table fields. Easiest way to use it is through {{Information field|name=Field Name|value=Field Value}}. There are also other_fields_1, other_fields_2, and other_fields_3 for placing fields in other locations. | empty | optional |
| ISBN | International Standard Book Number | empty | optional |
| LCCN | Library of Congress Control Number: Authority data from the Library of Congress. | empty | optional |
| OCLC | Title authority data from Online Computer Library Center. | empty | optional |

Example usage
For example the source code of the book description at Category:Geometria by Augustin Hirschvogel is:
{{Book
| Author = Augustin Hirschvogel
| Date = 1543
| Image = Fotothek df tg 0003618 Geometrie ^ Architektur ^ Perspektive ^ Polyeder.jpg
| Language = German
| Source = Scan of original book from [[:de:Deutsche Fotothek|Deutsche Fotothek]]
| Subtitle = Das Bvch Geometria ist mein Namen, All Freye Kvnst Avs Zvm Ersten Kamen, Ich Bring Architectvra vnd Perspectiva zvsamen
| Title = Geometria
}}
For an example of the usage on a multi-image DjVu file see the implementation at: File:Three Books of Occult Philosophy (De Occulta Philosophia) (1651).djvu, the code follows:
{{Book
|Author={{creator:Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim}}
|Translator={{creator:John French}}
|Editor=
|Illustrator=
|Title=Three Books of Occult Philosophy
|Subtitle=
|Series title=
|Volume=
|Edition=
|Publisher=Gregory Moule
|Printer=R.W.
|Date={{date|1651||}}
|City=London
|Language=English
|Description={{en|Original 1651 English translation by [[John French (physician)|John French]] of [[w:De occulta philosophia libri tres|De occulta philosophia libra III (Three Books of Occult Philosophy)]] by [[w:Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa|Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa]]}}
|Source=http://archive.lib.msu.edu/AFS/dmc/arts/public/all/threebooksoccult/ANL.pdf [[w:Michigan State University|Michigan State University]] Libraries: [http://digital.lib.msu.edu/collections/index.cfm?TitleID=247 Digital Collections] individual pages are also available as .GIFs from the same source
|License={{PD-old-100}}
|Image=Three Books of Occult Philosophy (De Occulta Philosophia) (1651).djvu
|Image page=5
|Wikisource=s:en:Three Books of Occult Philosophy
|Homecat=
| Other_versions = [[:File:De Occulta Philosophia Libri III (1533).djvu|De Occulta Philosophia libri III (1533)]] (Latin); [[:File:Magische Werke (De Occulta Philosophia) (1855).djvu|Magische Werke (Book II) (1855)]] (German)
}}
the same format would work with a multi-image pdf.
